The first baby born in New York City in 2010 arrived just 13 seconds after midnight Friday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

The baby boy weighed five pounds, one ounce and is 18 inches long.

His parents, Mose and Brucha Strulovitch, who recently moved from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Monroe, N.Y., have two other sons.

The New Year's baby wasn't due until January 20, but doctor's induced the mother in the early morning hours on New Year's Eve.

"It was our goal to get her in at 37 weeks and end up with one of the last babies of the old year, not the first baby of the new year," said Dr. Michael Silverstein of Mount Sinai.

"It wasn't expected, it was kind of a surprise," said Brucha Strulovitch.

Since his parents are orthodox Jews, the baby will be named in a week at his bris.
